Typescript

TypeScript is a statically typed superset of JavaScript that enhances code reliability, maintainability, and developer productivity. By adding optional static typing, interfaces, and advanced tooling support, TypeScript helps catch errors early and improves the overall quality of JavaScript-based applications.

TypeScript compiles down to JavaScript, ensuring compatibility with existing JavaScript ecosystems while offering modern features like strict type checking, enhanced code navigation, and better refactoring capabilities. This makes it particularly valuable for large-scale applications and collaborative development.

Where is it used in the stack?

TypeScript is used across most of the stack, including the frontend, backend services, and infrastructure scripts, providing consistency and type safety throughout the codebase.

Why are we using it?

TypeScript was chosen for its developer-friendly features, improved code maintainability, and ability to scale. Its strong typing and tooling support reduce runtime errors, enhance collaboration, and make the codebase more predictable—ensuring a more robust and maintainable system in the long run.
